Eva.s Chicken Paprikash

2 1/2 to 3 1/2 lbs frying chicken
4 Tbsp shortening of your choice
black pepper and salt, to taste
5 Tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
1 cup finely chopped onion
3 Tbsp tomato puree (I use ketchup!)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1 cup chicken stock or water or 1/2 and 1/2 with wine
1 cup sour cream

Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and 1 Tbsp paprika.
Melt 4 Tbsp fat in a heavy saute pan. When the fat is hot, add the
chicken pieces and saute quickly over medium heat until meat turns white
and is firm to the touch. Remove chicken to roasting pan.

Increase the heat and add the chopped onion, 2 Tbsp paprika, tomato
puree, and the garlic cloves, which has been mashed with the 1 tsp salt.
Stir all ingredients until the fat sizzles. Add 1 cup stock, cover the
pan and cook until the onions become pulpy.
Add to the sauteed chicken in the roasting pan. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp
paprika and salt and pepper. Bake at 250-275 for approx. 1 3/4 hours.
Remove chicken and keep warm. Defat juice, then add up to 1 cup sour
cream and whisk. Serve with dumplings.
